resonator. n. 1. (Electronics) any body or system that displays resonance, esp a tuned electrical circuit or a conducting cavity in which microwaves are generated by a resonant current.. resonator-a hollow chamber whose dimensions allow the resonant oscillation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves. cavity resonator, resonating chamber. chamber-a natural or artificial enclosed space. soundbox, body-a resonating chamber in a musical instrument (as the body of a violin).
The other method of classifying the modules is by their bandwidth rating in megabytes per second. 1600MHz memory can run at a theoretically speed of 12.8 gigabytes per second or 12,800 megabytes per second.
The speed of RAM modules is the rate at which the onboard controller talks to the memory controller on the motherboard or CPU. The maximum speed of the connection is the lower of the speeds of the two controllers. Additionally, with more than one module installed, the maximum speed is usually the lowest of all the controllers present.
